I use a simple VB script to backup all the files to another server and then delete any file that is 360 days old. I do this the first Sunday of the month, helps to keep the file server clean of old stuff and if someone complains about needing an old file, I can recover it quickly off the backup server. For the most part people don't miss it if it hasn't been updated in 360 days.

We have a windows 2000 file server that contains several hundred thousand files (approx 250 thousand) and we are adding 3k plus files per week. I'd like a product that can "groom" files based on certain criteria (creation date, last accessed date, file name, etc). We need to be able to archive the groomed files for later retrieval if necessary and getting to the archived files needs to be simple for our users. Does anyone know of an application that will provide us with the ability to manage these files?
